Bacterial sensory systems represent a dynamic and rapidly evolving area at the intersection of molecular microbiology and biochemistry, where recent ...

I am an environmental microbiologist who studies microbial communities in diverse ecosystems. Microbes (Bacteria and Archaea) are ubiquitous in the environment and play essential roles in the cycling ...

While working out the structure of a cell-killing protein produced by some strains of the bacterium Enterococcus faecalis, researchers stumbled on a bit of unusual biochemistry. They found that a ...

University of Toronto researchers have expanded our understanding of bacterial immunity with the discovery of a new protein ...

Background: Research team led by Christof Hauck, professor of cell biology at the University of Konstanz, and Thomas Böttcher, professor of microbial biochemistry at the University of Vienna, discover ...

Soil consists of three basic parts including plant debris, microorganisms within the soil that decompose organic matter, as well as stable organic matter that is also referred to as humus. The ...

Marjory Stephenson (1885–1948) was a pioneering British biochemist whose work laid the foundation for modern bacterial metabolism studies. In 1928, she became one of the first scientists to isolate an ...

This collaboration, between a bacterial biochemist and a condensed-matter physicist, uses light to control the movement and arrangement of cyanobacteria, forming two- and three-dimensional nematic ...
